Cherokee Dance would have a shout if taking part but was due to run at Wolverhampton yesterday. Pretty Sweet’s frustrating run of placed efforts continued when runner-up over a longer trip so CROWN POWER (NAP) looks set to take advantage of a slide down the weights. She went close over course and distance last time and can go one better in this. Santa Florentina placed over a mile here on her debut for new connections and looks best of the remainder, despite racing from 3lb out of the handicap.
